[TheForge] TheForge Digest, Vol 222, Issue 5

[JERRY FROST]

WOW, the list is coming back to life! All of a sudden folks are posting again, many I haven't heard from in a way too long time. It's funny how that works, I've been hanging out on Iforgeiron for years and recently traffic there has dropped from hundreds of posts a day to 10-15.

Boy you gave me something to look up this morning Todd. It seems myelin related disorders have been increasing in recent years but treatments are being developed. CRSPR is one avenue that's being seriously researched for a number of things and neuro was one. It's been a while since reading about it though you'd think being a TBI survivor neurological issues would stick in what's left of my memory.

I see an old habit is coming back to me. . . Remember to trim your submissions!

how's everyone doing?

I've been lusting after a few different models.  Maybe in the next few 
years.

Mostly doing well in Eastern PA, though I seem to have picked up something 
that has made me very weak.  If it is what the neuromuscular specalist 
thinks it is (CIDP - pure motor) there is treatment that should get me 
back up and running at full strength soon.  I should know before the end 
of the year.
